The Ghost

[Chorus]

I will change, I will change

I swear, just tell me what to do

Just tell me who to be

And I'll be who you want me to

Pretend I don't exist

You won't know I'm in the room

I'll be the ghost of something

That used to mean something to you

[Verse 1]

This beaten up heart

Is lost and confused

I wish that my younger self was here

He'd know just what to do

Boy could he talk

Well he'd know just what to say

Moving up is moving on from where you came

Stop me if I'm boring you

I'm painfully aware

That you've got better ways to waste your time, time, time

[Chorus]

I will change, I will change

I swear, just tell me what to do

Just tell me who to be

And I'll be who you want me to

Pretend I don't exist

You won't know I'm in the room

I'll be the ghost of something

That used to mean something to you

[Verse 2]

Say this isn't real

Say this was a joke

Say there's still space for me in bed

Cause I can't live alone

Oh pitiful me, I'll do anything you say

I'd soon as suffocate with you than stay away

And I knew all this years ago

But couldn't take the hint

You match my overcompensation

With your own ambivalence

[Chorus]

I will change, I will change

I swear, just tell me what to do

Just tell me who to be

And I'll be who you want me to

Pretend I don't exist

You won't know I'm in the room

I'll be the ghost of something

That used to mean something to you

[Bridge]

When I got the call

I was on the road

Three weeks in Europe 'til I got home

So what would make you stay

I'll build a mountain I'll change my name

I don't have to breathe if all my air gets in your way

[Chorus]

I will change, I will change

I swear, just tell me what to do

Just tell me who to be

And I'll be who you want me to

Pretend I don't exist

You won't know I'm in the room

I'll be the ghost of something

That used to mean something to you

That should've meant something to you
